Now, just because Sony/PlayStation isn’t confirmed for Gamescom now, doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t be attending. This isn’t the first time they weren’t a part of the first round up signups. Given the ongoing coronavirus crisis, they may just be playing it cautious. That said, Sony not being included when so many other top publishers were willing to jump aboard does raise questions.

Of course, all public events like Gamescom are in question due to the spread of COVID-19. GDC 2020 has been postponed, and E3 2020 organizers are “monitoring and evaluating the situation daily” as Los Angeles has declared a public health state of emergency. Of course, coronavirus is also having an effect on electronics manufacturing in China, so it’s not just events that are in jeopardy – the launch of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X could be thrown off as well. Needless to say, there is a lot of uncertainty in the air, and it would be great if Sony could clarify their plans.
